Feasibility Study Of Using Ethanol And Petrol Blends In Malaysia

Bioethanol derived from lignocellulosic biomass can be seen as an alternative energy source in Malaysia. This is due to the depletion in petroleum supplies and the prices are expected to increase sharply. Other major concern is the pollution originating by burning fossil fuel. The possible raw ma...
